Anime[]
Mesozoic Meltdown[]
In There's No Place Like Rome, Piatnitzkysaurus was summoned by Shear's Yangchuanosaurus though Venom Fang in the Ancient Roman Colosseum to attack Chomp. It breathed a purple mist at him, but Chomp dodged it. Chomp then knocked Piatnitzkysaurus away and defeated it with Thunder Bazooka. Its card was presumably reclaimed by Max.
In Bad Deal, a group of differently-colored wild Piatnitzkysaurus were seen running from the forest fire that Gigas started with Magma Blaster in the Jurassic Period.
Character Design[]
Personality[]
Not much is known about the personality of Piatnitzkysaurus since it appeared only briefly in the episode, but it acted as a Move Card dinosaur normally would, assisting whoever summoned it, although it was a Space Pirate dinosaur. It appears to be very aggressive, but is neither a particularly good nor a strong fighter as it was unable to launch a successful attack against Chomp and proved to be more of an annoyance than an actual danger.
Trivia[]
- Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
- Japanese: 肉食恐竜で身軽な体をしている。集団でえものをおそっていたようだ。
- English: A lightweight, agile carnivore that apparently hunted in groups.
- Taiwanese: 身輕如燕的肉食恐龍。據說會以群體行動來進行獵食。
- DS Game Encyclopedia entry: A carnivore with a nimble body. It apparently attacks its prey in packs.
- When released as a Wind Dinosaur, Piatnitzkysaurus was one of the last new dinosaurs to appear in the Japanese arcade game (along with Edmontosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Agustinia, and Olorotitan).
- As a Dinosaur Card, Piatnitzkysaurus was the last new Wind Dinosaur in Dinosaur King.
- Oddly, it is the only one of the last wave of new Dinosaurs to not have appeared on a Move Card in the previous wave, despite itself having been part of a Move Card previously, owing to Normal Moves not appearing in the previous wave.
- In the franchise, Piatnitzkysaurus is portrayed with having four digits, but in reality it only had three on each hand.
- When Piatnitzkysaurus uses the Move Venom Fang as Wind Dinosaur, another Piatnitzkysaurus is summoned, although the dinosaur could do the Move itself.
